Samba: Master Browser
1) Where does Samba keep it's master browse list file(s) at?
2) What if, hypothetically, I have a Workgroup (not a domain) with an OS X server (Samba file services) as the master browser, and a few PC workstations. BUT THEN, I bring up a second OS X Server (Samba) and I accidentally have the master browser setting turned ON on the second Mac server as well as the first Mac server. What will happen?
3) How can end user PC employees tell if they are in a domain or in a workgroup from their PC (Win 98, Win 2k, Win XP)?

3 - this works for most versions of windows (i am using xp). Hold windows key and press pause/break. This should pop the system properties box. Then choose the "computer name" tab. It should tell you in there.
